YOUR EDITORS COMMENTS Dave,I suspect that Apple HAS to react under the terms of their contract with AT&T when someone unlocks an iPhone. But unlocking has been accomplished at least 4 ways now, and probably the Apple software engineers are smiling. Soon a software only unlocking solution will surface. Apple is not Windoze by any stretch.
Also, remember that AT&T Wireless (not AT&T wired LD svc) was bought by Cingular and not the other way around. I too have problems with the baggage carried by AT&T and wish they had chosen to call the combined wireless companies "Cingilar."

http://blog.iphoneunlocking.com/I am wondering more and more what the difference is, if any, between Apple and Microsoft. Apple is behaving just like MS not like the old Apple I used to like a lot and buy from. In the case of ATT I am not surprised. ( I use T-Mobile)I do have a Windows machine now running Vista and it is not at all bad. I may be close to changing my loyalties.I wonder when the iphone is sold in the rest of the world, especially where locking may be illegal or un-enforceable whether ATTAPPLE will demand the US Customs seize such phones.Dave ps remember I testified in the US vs MS anitrust trial.
